New Majestic

After owner Loh Lik Peng restored the New Majestic’s 1928 Chinatown building, he turned over the interiors to local artists, filmmakers, and fashion designers. The result is dazzling: rooms clad in mirrors or eye-popping murals, furnished with hanging beds or glass-encased tubs. Peng’s own eclectic antiques are scattered around the public spaces—vintage ceiling fans, dentist’s chairs, signal lights from an old navy ship. The whimsy extends to the second-floor pool, lined with glassed portholes that give swimmers glimpses of the restaurant below.
